* ''Harper's Island's'' ''Series/HarpersIsland's'' entire premise is that there is at least one victim every week.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'' always has at least one, and usually [[NeverOneMurder more than one]].* ''Series/AgathaRaisin''* Justified in ''Series/TheCoroner'' as the coroner only gets involved if there is a death to investigate.

* Being a deconstruction of the FightingSeries PlayedForLaughs, ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume'' subverts this trope because the various non-fatal victims of the week that we met at the series are regulars in her DebutQueue (they will not solve their problems) or people who will solve their problems themselves, [[StopHelpingMe despite the help the protagonist gives]].

Reason: fixed a wick for a split trope, but man someone needs to redo the intro for this trope. It's goofy, and it doesn't really get to the point...!

Common in series that use MonsterOfTheWeek or MysteryOfTheWeek. In more supernatural shows, having a victim of the week is also a very good way to showcase the special powers or other abilities of this week's monster or villain that the hero must overcome in order to save the day.

* If you're in the ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' universe and Kenshiro isn't dealing with ArcVillain or being next to you, pray for your luck and stay away from anyone with [[TheQuincyPunk Mohawk]], because you're likely to be bullied, mugged and killed by [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels them]].

It should be noted that often in MysteryOfTheWeek shows, the VictimOfTheWeek is [[AssholeVictim not sympathetic at all]]. This is due to the fact that there need to be enough suspects wanting the person dead.
